Why Should Kids See the Dentist?

Why Should Kids See the Dentist?

 

We send warm wishes to you and your child from our dental practice.  As most of our staff members are mothers, we believe we have a way with children and want to make dentistry a pleasant experience for every child.

 

Many parents wonder how to prepare their child for a dental visit.  We suggest that you be very positive, stressing that a  visit to the dentist will help your child keep a bright, healthy smile.  We enjoy having young patients in our office and welcome any children and their parents who do not have a regular dentist.

 

It is essential to establish good dental habits in our young children.  These habits will help maintain good dental health for a lifetime.  It is important that children have regular check-ups twice a year.  Early dental care can prevent future dental problems and patient anxiety.  Our office takes great pride in catering to children and making dentistry fun.  We routinely do toothprints, an easy dental identification.  When necessary, custom sport mouthguards are recommended to help protect your children's smile and to help reduce the chances of a concussion.  We also place sealants on the developing permanent molars to help reduce the incidence of tooth decay.

 

Our children are our future and we want to protect them in every way possible.
